A masterpiece by Austin

Austin had a homework project this week to decorate his tree. Last night he painted it with watercolors and then we jazzed it up. He did a fine job stamping ornaments on the tree and presents underneath. Then he wanted glitter and ribbon. This was a joint effort. He put glue down where he wanted the glitter and Mommy put the glitter on. Then I helped him tie knots in the ribbon and he glued them on. The only thing that gave us touble was the star, but I showed him how to use my Cricut to make it. Mike's not sure showing him how to use that was a great idea--LOL! Austin's very proud of his tree, so I thought I would share.

About Me

Hi! I'm a busy middle school teacher and mom to two wonderful boys. I've been married to my best friend Mike for 18 years. I LOVE scrapbooking and creating handmade projects.
I am a consultant for Close To My Heart, a scrapbook and stamping company. I love it because it gives me a chance to be creative and also teach others how to make beautiful handmade cards and preserve their precious memories.
When I'm not grading papers or scrapping and stamping, I can be found playing with my kiddos or with my nose deep in a book (or my Kindle as the case may be).
